Liverpool fly to Porto for Champions League clash as Mo Salah and co look to lead Reds charge in Europe

Despite having the best record in European competition of any English club, Liverpool's modern team are heading into uncharted territory this week.
The Reds have not played in the knockout stages of the Champions League since 2009, having failed to regularly finish in the top four or be able to compete with the continent's elite.
All that will change on Wednesday, however, when Liverpool take on Porto in the first leg of their last 16 clash.
